Down & Dirty with Traci Douglass, author of ‘One Night With the Army Doc’

Traci Douglass, whose contemporary medical romance One Night With the Army Doc arrives today, joins us to answer some rapid-fire questions.

First, please tell us about your new release.

Traci: One Night With the Army Doc is an opposites-attract romance with a bit of a medical mystery involved that the hero and heroine have to solve together. My hero, Dr. Jake Ryder, is a brilliant trauma surgeon and ex-Army medic who loves his privacy and shuns the spotlight. Dr. Molly Flynn is the media-darling traveling diagnostician who’s brought in to help save Jake’s best friend. Sparks fly between them, in more ways than one.

First car? Dodge Omni — in which the electrical system was wonky, so you could use two things at once (like the windshield wipers and the radio, or the wipers and the headlights — tricky on rainy nights. LOL.)

Favorite class in school? Art.

Dog or cat? Dog.

The last picture Traci took.

Last picture you took? Lily from my garden.

What’s the dressing on your salad? Caesar. LOVE a good Caesar salad.

Go-to cocktail? Amaretto Sour.

First book you had signed by the author? Servant of the Bones by Anne Rice. She came to a cool indie bookstore in my city and I waited in line for hours for her to arrive. Her tour bus pulled up and she stepped out dressed like an Egyptian goddess and I thought I’d pass out from the utter awesomeness. LOL. She was extremely gracious and kind and it’s still one of my favorite reader memories.

Last book you read? New book? The Henchmen of Zenda by KJ Charles. Re-read? The Devil in Winter by Lisa Kleypas.

Favorite ’80s song or artist? Ugh. I was a teen in the ’80s so … wow! Um, probably Save a Prayer by Duran Duran.

Traveling to Alaska to film the latest episode of her TV show is just what brilliant diagnostician Dr. Molly Flynn needs. It’s the perfect escape from her family’s expectations. Until she clashes with privacy-loving former army doc Jacob Ryder over her patient’s care! Only, as friction turns into flirtation, can Molly trust that Jake sees the real her and loves her—just the way she is?
